Carson Cooman: Bio and other works

voicing: SSA | catalog number: SBMP 1174 | duration: 2:30 | price: $1.95
accompaniment: flute
INSTRUMENT PART: flute part - FREE Download

Set to a Gaelic prayer translated into English, the flute plays the protagonist, dramatically opening the piece with a slow but flourishing melody, suggesting that this sleep may indeed be special. The choir is chant-like in their response to this opening as they implore “I am placing my soul and my body On thy sanctuary this night.” Sophisticated treble choirs won’t want to miss this most unusual piece.

performance by: Bella Voce Women's Chorus of Vermont, Dawn O. Willis, director, and flutist Laurel Ann Maurer. [© all rights reserved]
